Station master suspended following MP’s fall

Sirajganj: A station master here was temporarily suspended on Wednesday night as MP Tanvir Imam fell down while getting out of a running train on Monday, reports UNB.

According to locals, on September 4, Tanvir Imam, Member of Parliament of Sirajganj-4, was getting out of the running Dhaka-bound train Chitra Express after seeing off his wife when he slipped.

Later, he was taken to the Station Master's room for primary treatment where his supporters started beating Abdul Baten, the assistant station master leaving him with a broken hand, said Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) of Pakshi, Ashim Kumar Talukder.

After that, on Wednesday night Station Master Shamsul Alam was temporarily suspended and a two-member committee was formed to investigate the incidents, added the DRM.

When asked, MP Tanvir, denying the fact of beating the assistant station master, said, the station master is lying to protect himself.

However, the suspended station master said, if it was notified that the MP or his wife will get off, then the train could have been stopped for a while.
